70% of the 20M I was saying we had spent on 2 players, depending on who you listen to and when. J-Rod £4m-£8m Gaston £12m-£15m+

Do you mean time or, oerr, length??

That's the trouble, you're only seeing it as "7th biggest spenders" not what we've spent (or not) on... Add to that that the person who we spent 70%+ of the that money on has been injured.....

He spent £105m on 10 players, we have spent £20m on 2!! He rebuilt his team, we haven't, slight difference. If we had spent £105m on rebuilding the team and were languishing were we are currently then I would be more concerned. But as it is we haven't spent the money on the players that count (defenders).

What the **** has the cost being offset by player sales got to do with him spending big on getting players in? If he didn't have the money he wouldn't have got the quality of player in that he did and he would have failed...so who did he sell and for what? Was Berbatov one of them?

That is the one that saddens me the most, Social Media has a lot to answer for. If I were a player I wouldn't have a Twitter or Facebook account, in fact I only use Twitter to get information (99% of the time) and don't have a Facebook account...

The only "spoon" missing at St Mary's is Turkish, but they could easily look on here and find him

OK, before he left Spurs it was made known that he would likely not be at Spurs much longer. So, in that time frame, we have Liverpool, Villa, Norwich, Swansea and (at a push) Chelsea. I don't remember him being touted for any of those positions. Surely such big clubs would be having his name at the top of their lists??

Oh of course, his name was in the frame for the Crystal Palace job, and tops the list for the Ipswich job and Burnley had him top of their list. Never mind all the other vacancies that have come up since he "left" Spuds. In fact, apart from B'mouth, I can't remember his name being bandied about for any...

Another couple of Turkish's delusion rantings that he swears blind are true, just proves that the Echo reads this site is all...

How they **** can they have a judicial review on this!! Is it illegal what they have done??

I hide my WiFi, I am that ashamed of it

You know, I can't really work out whether you're on a wind up on some sort of serious mind warping drug!!

So did England, doesn't mean we want Roy Hodgson at the helm.....

I heard J-Rod was keeping the spoon ransom until NC got him back playing on the left....

It's not jealousy, it's realism that you are never going to be anywhere near your perceived "level" with the level of financial support that a Supporters' Trust is going to get. That club that the fans bought back from the single owner recently (sorry, name has totally escaped me) have been bouncing around the pyramid for years and only just got into the league when they went to single person ownership. It's the delusion that with Fan Ownership you are suddenly going to be in the P/L and staying there!!! Who is going to pay for that??

Have you been converted by the Lord Davros??

I thought it was one of Turkish's usual attempts at wit...

Same for me, I only knew and heard about the shenanigans in the background because Turkish told us....

My missus likes to read books in the bath, not the best environment for an electronic device (or a book either TBH). And she corners the page to mark where she was last, evil wench....

The way he gambles with getting players in it must surely be "Casino Royale"

Oh, and where are you going to put all these new homes??

But will it, the housing market isn't going to drop enough so that those on low incomes can afford them, even with social housing and/or shared purchases. The only ones who will be able to buy are landlords and second home owners, so guess the cost of rent isn't going to go down is it?? And can someone explain to me how, with interest rates at their lowest, rents are still going up?

Yeah, Cantona reacted, and look what happened to him....
